They honored Lil' John for songwriting! If I would've been Stephen Stills, I would tossed that tom-tom trophy because of the lack of credibility. Besides, when is Pink Floyd or Roger Waters going to recieve this award? They should've already!

I'll be fifty this coming January and have never in my life seen David Crosby in a suit and tie. Very disturbing, I did not believe it was real image.

@TelecasterLPGTop Calm down, hippie. Take another toke, take a deep breath, and take your blood pressure medication. I'd hate to cause you to Hulk out and rip your "legalize it" T shirt.

@bearo657 Yeah ASSHOLE ! Well these MUSICIANS have aged JUST AS YOU WILL and I bet an asshole like you who can't string two chords together, let alone any meaningful lyrics won't achieve half as much as they did this morning when they squeezed out their first turd for the day. FUCK OFF !!!

Eventually evertying ends up as a grotesque parody of itself.

lil john wtf???? that is talentless garbage. Maroon 5 is a queer ass group. Goes to show how far standards have dropped in what's considered award worthy in the so called music industry these days.
